Andrew David and Marius Hawell to learn fates over rapes of teenagers during bucks party weekend in Newcastle

Two men are due to be sentenced after they were found guilty of gang ******* three teenagers during a booze-fuelled bucks party weekend in Newcastle.

Andrew David, 30, and Marius Hawell, 22, rented an Airbnb on Parry St for a weekend in February 2022 to celebrate the upcoming wedding of Maurice Hawell, 30.

The rental home became the setting of a horrific nightmare for two 18-year-old women and a 19-year-old woman who were gang ****** by the trio over two nights.

Andrew and Marius are expected to front the NSW District Court on Tuesday to be sentenced for ********* assaulting the three teens.

Alongside Maurice, they were found guilty of engaging in a ****** ********* enterprise to ********* ******** the women after a weeks-long trial in the NSW District Court earlier this year.

The two 18-year-old victims told the court they had agreed to go back to the Airbnb after meeting the men at the Cambridge Hotel on the Friday night of the bucks weekend.

When they went into a bedroom to retrieve their phones as they prepared to leave, they testified they were pinned down to beds and violated.

One of the teens said she was ****** by a man she couldn’t see while another man knelt on her arms and thrust his ****** into her mouth.

At the same time, the other 18-year-old recalled being held down on a neighbouring bed and stripped ****** by a “swarm” of men before being ********* assaulted.

Although the teens could not see their assailants, the jurors found Andrew, Maurice, and Marius were responsible for the gang rapes.

They also found the men guilty of jointly ********* assaulting a 19-year-old woman on the following night.

The teen told the court she had been approached on the street by Maurice, who used a fake name as he persuaded her to come up to the Airbnb for pre-drinks.

Instead of giving her a drink, she said Maurice pushed her onto a bed and asked her to have a ********** with him and Andrew.

“What? No,” she recounted telling him.

Despite her refusal, the 19-year-old said Andrew knelt on her shoulders and forced his ****** into her mouth while Maurice ****** her.

The court was told Marius entered the room and turned on his phone’s flashlight as Maurice and Andrew took turns ********* assaulting the woman.

She said she put her pants on backwards in her haste to leave the apartment after the gang ***** and the court heard she was “sobbing” when she disclosed the ******** to a friend.

All three men continue to maintain their innocence, with Maurice and Andrew claiming the ******* activity was consensual while Marius argued he hadn’t engaged in any **** acts during the bucks weekend.

The trio have been in custody for two months since the jury returned guilty verdicts.

Judge Gina O’Rourke is expected to sentence Andrew and Marius on Tuesday.

Maurice, who was found guilty of ***** and is expected to learn his fate on Wednesday.
